    Ramshot TAC - Waste of Time

    I use TAC out here in Vegas for my .223. Temp swings are all over the place out here. I shoot 1/2 MOA with TAC at 100 yards, 55 Gr B/T, 24.5 TAC, Lake City Brass, Win primers.

    Choice of Brass

    Right now I am shooting groups at 100 yards. I also go to the silhouette range (100-960 yards) and shoot the silhouette targets. I am learning on the .223 for now because the cartridge is inexpensive and it won't cost a tremendous amount to start learning the tricks of shooting and...

    Relationship of Bumping Shoulders (Headspace) to Land Seating

    Last night a buddy and I spent a couple hours discussing this, and we are not sure of the correct answer. SO, once again I am turning to the folks here for some help. I understand how to figure out bullet seating/ogive in relationship to the lands. I have a comparator, and finally know how...

    Confused About How To Get Concentricity

    Yes, I do. First powder, then lands. Hopefully that is the correct order!

    Confused About How To Get Concentricity

    Thank you very much for your detailed answer. I am using different head stamps, and I realize now that would cause some consistency problems. I just purchased Lapua brass, and plan on switching over to that. I also purchased a headspace gauge and a Redding carbide expander for my Redding S FL...

    Curious question about measuring length from ojive

    Simply stated, no. You have to measure each bullet brand.

    Confused About How To Get Concentricity

    I do get fliers here and there. Groups are decent, but then a round doesn't come close to the others. This is only at 10o yards......at 500, the error would be much greater.

    Confused About How To Get Concentricity

    Yes, I am using a bushing.....245 or .001 under the .246 OD of a loaded 223 round. I have resized brass with the expander ball out of the Redding die, and the cases actually got worst. I know that sounds crazy, but my Sinclair concentricity gauge is very accurate. Tomorrow I will call Redding...

    Confused About How To Get Concentricity

    The runout of my brass is anywhere between .001 and .006 after FL resizing. I'm using mostly Lake City, but do have mixed headstamps. How do I make the brass more concentric??? I have read so much and am still unable to get a consistent .001-.002. Do I: Turn the necks for OD.....but...

    Choice of Reloading Press

    Thank you for taking the time to post a detailed and logical response. I do not want a new press.....I have been using my Dillon for 30 years or so. It has had parts replaced through Dillon's lifetime warranty. Recently Dillon is sending me a new crank set because the main shaft rotates more...

    Choice of Brass

    I know Lapua is a great name in brass, but at $0.60 per copy for .223, it can get pricey. Do you have any suggestions for other quality brass that is not so pricey? I want brass that is consistent in dimensions (no junk). IF it has to be Lapua, then so be it. Suggestions??

    A Pilot's View On Approach....

    I remember those days. When I learned to fly, a Cessna 152 was about $20 an hour. The instructor was about $8 an hour. When I started instructing before I got hired by United, I was making about $12 an hour as an instructor. And that was for advanced instructing which included the ATP...

    Choice of Reloading Press

    For rifle, my dies are set in the tool head. I simply rotate the shell plate to place the brass under a specific die. BUT, after depriming only I remove the brass from the shell plate, then I tumble, anneal (coming soon), FL size, trim neck (out of shell plate). Then back in shell plate to...
